Chili Peppers

We never go wrong coming to Chili Peppers. If you live anywhere near 185^th, or in Euclid, you should be coming here. There is no way you should be wasting gas and time to drive to a Chipotle. Support local businesses dammit! Eat at Chili Peppers!

Great establishment! Clean, friendly staff, fresh ingredients (for the most part). Jessica is the greatest she pays attention to detail for my crazy metal allergy.

We have been here numerous times. The set-​up of the restaurant is similar to a Subway or Chipolte. It is almost fast food restaurant. There are meat options to fill your burrito: steak, chicken, hamburger. Grilled vegs., and limes cost extra. We always get the Wet Burrito plate: burrito, rice, beans, onions. You can get a Frequent buyer card and this is only good for Burrito plates. The parking lot is small.

Delicious burritos et cetera made with fresh ingredients delivered with a high meat-​and-​veggies to rice ratio. Plus, for fifty extra cents your burrito can be grilled on the grill, a much tastier thing than I imagined in would be!
While Chipoltle may be named after a single chile pepper, this place is named after all of them.
Iced tea review: ⁵⁄₅ stars. Real iced tea, with a hint of lime. The fellow behind the counter even came to my table and offered me a refill. I couldn’t ask for a better iced tea experience — especially given the scarcity of iced tea at non-​national-​chain Mexican restaurants. (They still have the usual complement of bottled Jaritos.)

Great neighborhood spot for casual dining with counter service and plenty of seating now that they have expanded the dining room. Friendly, fast service with a cooler stocked with Mexican sodas, as well as your other typical beverage selections.

Love this little place! I moved to California and I crave their food all the time! Everything is customizable, and made to your liking. Love the build your own burrito, never disappoints. The quesadillas are amazing — they are grilled on a flat top and always melty and delicious! The owner is always in and really cares about his customers getting the best experience!

Basically a local version of Chipotle, but better. On my most recent visit, one of my burritos was not placed in my bag (to go). To make up for the oversight, they offered a free burrito on my next visit.
In addition, the employees are very friendly, and the food is pretty good. This is exactly the kind of establishment that people in the area need to support.

Better than chit pot lee. Flavor, yes. Sauce is actually HOT. COULD BE HOTTER YET ITS HOT. Also they don’t fill it up with rice.

I love this place! The food is cooked perfectly and all of their toppings are always fresh and they have more options than Chipotle which is nice! The decorations in the restaurant are cute and they play the best Mexican music! I would definitely recommend this restaurant if you’re in the area!

Stopped by here Thursday evening for the first time. Pretty much set up like a fast food restaurant. The woman behind the counter was very helpful and kind enough to explain the menu dishes.
I got the chicken quesadilla — mmmmmm, so cheesy and delicious. For some reason, you’re only allowed 2 items on the quesadilla (in addition to beans and rice). Anything extra, you must pay for — ummmm, ok…

Decided to give this place another shot as the hubs was hungry for some Mexican. We both got barbacoa grilled burritos. To up the seasoning and heat in my burrito, added extra cilantro, lime juice, fresh jalepeno and some habenero sauce. SOOOO much better this time. Will definitely patronize again after getting a good quality, moderately spicy Mexican meal.

Great place! The staff is fast and friendly. The ingredients are fresh. The grilled burrito has become my new favorite.

When I walked in the service door to the kitchen was open and I saw a worker pouring bleach I should have turned around then. But my thinking was «wow this place is clean» I stepped up to order and for some reason the guy making my chicken burrito was rushing me. I was the only one in there. I came straight from church to beat the crowd. I ordered a chicken burrito. When I got home and bit into it the chicken was old! It was hard and crunchy like it had been sitting out all day to dry. I will never go back to this place. I am very disappointed in the service and the quality of the food. One star is too generous of a rating.

Delicious burritos and a ton of options — without the upcharge for guacamole or the like. Also, the service was great. This place is like a well-​oiled machine.
I was impressed at the crowd at lunchtime. I feel that Chili Peppers has a distinct neighborhood vibe, and I’m digging it.

Great burritos for cheap. Not a lot of esoteric ingredients, you’ll recognize everything on the bar immediately. They do have a few things that the big chains don’t: grilled onions, chorizo, fresh lime, and sliced olives.
The staff has been consistently friendly and pleasant, even when there is a line all the way around the room. (Usually Friday dinner.)
Another nice thing is the selection of Mexican sodas.

I love Chili Peppers! Always a great place to stop in and get a burrito full of fresh delicious ingredients. Tried my burrito grilled and it’s the best way to go.

I get it. They’re not Chipotle.. .
So I went to Chili Peppers after hearing so much hype about this place and I was so disappointed! I forgive the new guy for having to remake my «Grilled burrito» twice but the taste was truly unforgivable. To be honest this place has no business charging Chipotle prices. Immediately upon arrival and looking at the food behind the glass, the whole set up reminded me of a ghetto Chipotle. And they actually charged .50 cents more to have my burrito grilled. .. Okay, petty pricing.
The rice was so, so, and it look like brown rice. It didn’t look appetizing at all. The onions were such a disappointment, I was very reluctant to try nearly caramelized burnt (grilled, whatever) onions on my burrito but I gave it a go anyway and the combination proved to be a disaster. Sweet Slippery onions on a burrito yuck! I also got the black beans, tomatoes and fresh jalapeño. I asked the guy making my burrito which jalapeño where hotter because I had a choice between pickled and fresh jalapeño. He told me the fresh were hotter, and they were not! I even asked for extra, extra, extra hot sauce. I didn’t dare go for the guacamole because it looked like store bought green puréed blob, no distinctive ingredients just specks of red. The only thing that I did like about this place was the meat selections. Maybe they should focus more on the ingredients instead of multiple meat selections, which I’m sure is killing revenue. Also I didn’t like how one of the female employees were talking to the new guy. She seemed to lack patience with him with her huffy demeanor as well as the way she had a snappy attitude with one of the other guys that actually knew what he was doing and he had to correct her. I think that there should be a certain kind of professionalism about the employees that work there especially in front of a customer. It was tacky to see that and it’s actually bad customer service. Although she was nice to me, I felt like to talk to someone like that made feel like she’s actually not a nice person at all. After tasting my burrito I realized that it was mushy and bland, bland, bland, bland, bland! Thank God I had a lemon at home because it needed it sooo bad. At the end of the day, I didn’t see what the fuss was about, the food wasn’t that great, service was okay, I really didn’t like the treatment of the employees there and please get rid of those onions, sauté in butter don’t caramelized them. I will not be going back ever! Not even for a quick Chipotle fix.

Love Chili Peppers, I go at least once a week!
The build your own burritos are great but the local
neighborhood feel and the staff there is what bring
me back over and over again!

I keep seeing people saying this place is like Que Tal was. Guess what? It’s BETTER than Que Tal seeing as I have never had (or known anyone who had) food poisoning from Chili Peppers! Prices are fair, interesting people watching in the dining room. The burrito is excellent for a case of the munchies. Dude has been in the neighbourhood forever and that counts for something with me.

Not impressed with this place at all. I ordered the steak burrito bowl and found it quite bland. The rice had very little flavor and was wet. The steak honestly tasted more like marinated beef (not flavorful nor tender). I paid extra for grilled veggies which was a disappointment. The veggies were overcooked and didn’t look so fresh. All this was combined with their sour cream, cheese, and chunky hot sauce. It’s far from the flavors that I’m used to finding in Mexican chain restaurants (Chipotle, Qdoba, etc).
